The property was designed by an Australian architect to reflect an 'updated Balinese style,' said Mr. Wallace, who has renovated it three times. He said he spent about $75,000 on the changes, which including redoing the thatched roof. 'We used a color scheme of creams and reds with black wood,' he said. 'It's very light and airy. The whole design is very contemporary.'

The house is surrounded by 13-foot walls and gardens with frangipani and bougainvillea plants. 'It's very private,' said Mr. Wallace. The grounds also include a pool and a Balinese shrine, which is common for local homes, said listing agent Tracy Chapman of Exotiq Property.
